23 Quotes For Self-Empowerment
Singular Soul

1. "Everything is happening all the time, but if you don't put yourself in the path of it, you miss it." --Gayle Forman Just One Day

2. "You do have a story inside you; it lies articulate and waiting to be written--behind your silence and your suffering." --Anne Rice

3. "You've got to fight for what you believe in. If you don't try, you'll always wonder, and that's a horrible way to live." --Joan Jett

4. "Everybody feels these moments of sadness and moments of loss, and sometimes I think everybody can relate to sitting alone and feeling like crap and a friend of yours comes up and starts like, 'Come on, feel happy,' and you don't want that. Sometimes it's alright to let yourself live in a moment and let yourself be upset about something and so that you can show yourself that regardless of how low you feel, you can always rise out of it, but not in that moment. And so the song just ends with the lyric, 'I believe we all fall down,' but I don't say 'but we get back up'. It's just, sometimes you fall down and sometimes you feel low, and that's okay." --Andy Biersack about "Lost It All"

11. "So many people are shut up tight inside themselves like boxes, yet they would open up quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them." --Sylvia Plath

12.

13. "As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken, probably more than once, and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts, too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt, because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back." --Andy Biersack

14. "The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much and forgetting that you are special, too." --Ernest Hemingway

15. "Forgive yourself for the blindness that put you in the path of those who betrayed you. Sometimes a good heart doesn't see the bad." --Anonymous

19. "Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come. Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome." --Anonymous

20. "Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times. And a very small number, really." --Brandon Lee

21. "Do one thing every day that scares you." --Eleanor Roosevelt

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
